Chapter 767: Invincible Iron Forest

"What are you shouting about, what the marshal is waiting for is the Liao army. Let's take a look, is Yelu Hongji, the emperor of Liao, here? ”

Li Kui sat in the handsome tent with a golden knife as if he was fine, and Cao Fang and the others saw Li Kui so lazy, and the tension in their hearts suddenly went down a lot.

Psychological warfare is the first step, Li Kui went from a scoundrel who bullied the streets, to a bandit leader, and then to a rebel leader, a general and deputy prime minister of Western Xia, the empress dowager, and the emperor......

He is a fierce man who has been upgraded all the way, and his foundation is extremely solid.

Compared to him, the others are much worse.

A noble son like Cao Fang, Yang Zhi and others always feel that the emperor is very far away, and when he sees it, he wants to worship like a god.

In order to make them feel at ease, Li Kui had to tell them about his glorious past and cheer them up. There is no way, these people have no knowledge, and when they encounter the emperor of the enemy country, their hands and feet are cold, and their throats are dry. But Li Kui didn't have any nervousness in this regard at all, but the blood in his chest was about to boil: "Tell you about the great things that this marshal did in Western Xia back then." ”

"The handsome man is invincible in the country, the Xixia child, the dog and the like, how can you cover the glory of the handsome!" As soon as Yang Zhigang opened his mouth, he gushed endlessly. He is now worshipping Li Kui, and he can't worship it. When he finished shouting, he looked around, but found that his boss Cao Fang opened his mouth to praise Li Kui and let him take the lead, but he didn't feel his head numb, and sneered: "I can't help it, general, I can't help it." ”

Li Kui didn't care, and said to himself:

"At the beginning, the marshal instigated Li Bingqian of Western Xia to borrow 5,000 soldiers and horses from the Heishui Army, and broke through Guazhou and Liangzhou all the way, even if he besieged the capital of Western Xia, he only commanded 100,000 troops at that time. In the face of the 300,000 army commanded by the Liang family, the commander immediately commanded the 30,000 army, and fought in Lingzhou, 30,000 broke the 150,000 army, and the battle was decided. In the end, the Liang clan of Western Xia and his son, the little emperor, were trapped in Jingzhou. ”

"It's only been a few months. You don't know that when Jingzhou was broken at that time, Ben Shuai was already the generalissimo of the Western Xia Kingdom. At the beginning, the Liang family was trapped in the public office in Jingzhou, and I waited for the soldiers to enter, and when this old lady died, I was scared! ”

……

Ruan Xiaowu said: "You can't guess, the rope that strangled the old woman of the Liang family was the belt of my young master's trousers......"

The originally heavy atmosphere was filled with some charming atmosphere.

fought for the country well, but it turned into a pickled matter of bullshit for a negative man and an infatuated woman.

The Empress Dowager Liang of Western Xia, the murder weapon was Li Kui's trouser belt. In other words, would Li Kui have done something that was indignant to people and gods at that time and desecrated the harem dowager of Western Xia?

Facing Ruan Xiaowu, who was dedicated to the main thing and rushed to help, Li Kui scolded angrily: "Get out, can you speak?" Lao Tzu's good reputation will be troubled sooner or later by you brainless balls. ”

What made Li Kui angry was that he didn't do anything!

Of course, he does not deny that the Liang family is in his thirties, and if he looks ordinary, he will not be able to be a queen. Under pampering, people are younger, glorious, and the dignity of the world, if you really have a bad mind, you can't blame him, but the problem is ...... He is a serious person, and he can't do such a thing under coercion and temptation.

He frowned, "That's the case. Li Bingqian staged a coup d'état in order to overthrow the iron-fisted regime of the Liang clan that dominated the Western Xia dynasty. Seeing that it is about to be done, as long as the Liang family is killed, he will be the new king of Western Xia. But when it came to the juncture, Li Bingqian couldn't do it. At that time, if he dared to sleep with the Empress Dowager Liang, I didn't have anything to say, the big thing had already been decided. But he didn't dare to sleep, he didn't dare to kill, and if he continued like this, something would have trouble sooner or later. As a last resort, Ben Dashuai could only remind him that there was no suitable thing at that time, so he contributed the belt. After all, the queen mother is also a royal dignity, and the sword is not the way to die. Helplessly, this commander could only sacrifice himself. ”

After speaking, Li Kui looked around left and right, Cao Fang's expression was complicated, it was estimated in his mind that heaven and man were at war, the young woman, the little widow, and the identity of the queen mother, it was fatal, who could bear it?

If he had changed his ancestor Cao Apu, he would have pounced on it a long time ago-

Yang Zhi was expressionless as always, but this underwhelming look made people even more suspicious of the darkness in this guy's heart.

As for the others...... Liang Shijie actually showed a pity and regret, this guy's position is very problematic, and his character is not good.

The more you interpret it, the darker it seems.

Li Kui's patience ran out all of a sudden, kicked the book case, and scolded angrily: "Get out, get out of Lao Tzu!" ”

When everyone left, Li Kui covered his face and felt that he had been trapped.

He originally wanted to relieve the tension of these subordinates who had never seen the market.

These people are not nervous, but the problem is that his reputation as a big official is also stinky!

What made him even more helpless was that the army was pressing, and he had not yet had a chance to clarify.

If it spreads, Li Kui is afraid to think about it, maybe a few years later, in the bookstore of Kaifeng Mansion, there will be a glorious image of him in the books sold.

The Western Xia Palace is forbidden secret, who is the underground lover of the Empress Dowager Liang.

The Great Song Dynasty man in the Xixia harem!

Surprised, the last man she saw before the death of the Empress Dowager Liang of Western Xia!

Alack! The mother of a nation, marveled at death on the belt of his trousers—

……

Anyway, it's all the kind of title that is hot, and it doesn't stop if you don't frighten people to death. If he does something shameless, that's it, but the wrong thing is that he doesn't do anything, so he has to bear such an infamy, and he feels wronged when he thinks about it.

In particular, the big things that Li Kui did in Western Xia were not publicized in the Great Song Dynasty because they were too vigorous. In other words, only a small number of people know that Li Kui guarded against the official position of Yan'an Mansion, and skipped class to go to Western Xia and almost wiped out the scourge of Western Xia.

It is precisely because there are few people who know that it has become easier to harm Li Kui.

And until Li Kui's original campaign in Western Xia, the emperor and Zhang Dian and others would not explain to Li Kui. Because, it's hard to say.

Anyway, the consequences are very serious, Li Kui was afraid for a while, if it really spreads in an uncontrollable direction, Li Kui's reputation may be on par with stinky tofu in the future.

may even become the male protagonist of the Little Yellow Book under the Great Song Dynasty.

Li Kui didn't want to bear this consequence. pondering, it still has to be culturally invaded, and it stinks the Western Xia first. Fortunately, the roots of Western Xia, starting from the founding emperor Li Yuanhao, are not clean.

This guy killed his wife, killed his mother, killed his son, occupied the courtier's wife's room, and did all kinds of bad things.

and then passed on to Li Bingqian's generation, he, the prince of Western Xia, and his sister-in-law...... It should also make sense.

Thinking of this, Li Kui believed that the focus of the work of the Military Unification Bureau in the next stage should be shifted to the cultural camp. Only by occupying the right to speak can he sit back and relax.

Of course, you have to hurry up for promotion.

If he becomes the prime minister, any material that hacks him will be destroyed, and anyone who slanders the important officials of the court will be suppressed......

Li Kui, who was thinking about a big event, looked solemn, and Ruan Xiaowu asked in a low voice at the entrance of the tent: "Young master, aren't you going to take out to see the Liao army?" ”

"They're all gone?"

Li Kui looked up at Ruan Xiaowu, who had just said the wrong thing and was a little afraid to look at Li Kui. The reason why Li Kui is not worried is because the Liao army came from afar, and it is not possible to start a war if it wants to, and the two sides have to have a process of exploration.

After going back and forth, maybe a few days will pass.

Ruan Xiaowu nodded vigorously and said, "It's all out." ”

After all, he is the emperor of Liao, even if he wants to underestimate the other party strategically, if Yelu Hongji runs in front of the Song army, he can't ignore Yelu Hongji's identity as the emperor of Liao.

If it were in an ordinary year, a great Song minister like Li Kui would come to Xijin Mansion and need to wait for the reception of the Emperor of Liao. The ceremony is very grand, and as a courtier of the Great Song Dynasty, he also needs to face it extremely carefully. There can be no insult to the national body, and at the same time give enough respect to the emperor of Liao, and use the etiquette second only to the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty to meet the emperor of Liao.

But this time was different, the Song army came with a knife, and even if he failed to bleed the emperor of Liao in the end, it had already caused great losses to Liao.

Speaking of which, Liao's chest has been inserted by the Great Song Dynasty.

At this time, either you die or I live.

It is a bit too much to say that the First World War will be settled, but this war is related to the national fortunes of the two countries, and this is not bad at all.

Careful.

Be more cautious, that's right.

It's a pity that for Li Kui, the combat output of the firearms army is sufficient, but the tactics are too simple.

This is also a fact that there is no way to do it.

The flintlock pistol and artillery are lethal enough, but only compared to cold weapons. In the face of thermal weapons, this weapon configuration has less firepower, lacks a durable, long-range offensive posture, and has a shorter range. It is possible to march in a queue and move slowly on the battlefield.

This is also the warlike character of this equipment.

If there were machine guns, if there were large-caliber cannons, then it would be time to pull barbed wire and dig trenches.

The pattern of war is determined by weapons.

Li Kui stood on the lookout, holding a clairmile mirror, looking at the Liao cavalry gathering more and more in the distance. The black pressure was like a dark cloud on the horizon, drifting along the wind above his head.

I have to say that Yelu Hongji, the emperor of Liao, is a good hand at creating an atmosphere, and he knows what kind of formation can make 50,000 horses run out of 100,000 horses.

He has been fighting for so many years, and he is immersed in his skills for a while.

The reason is that the satisfaction of a soldier who does not fight is a satisfaction that cannot be matched by any victory after a bitter battle. At the same time, this kind of psychological pressure will also have a great negative impact on the enemy in battle. laid the groundwork for the momentum after the war.

For this reason, Yelu Hongji also used twelve points of housekeeping skills and showed his strength to make the Song army frightened.

Unlike Yi Shui, at that time, the Chongyi army was defeated, and Yelu Hongji did not have the face to put on an invincible formation to make the Song army afraid. If he really did this, he would probably be laughed off by Song Jun.

Yelu Hongji's king drove in the formation like the stars holding the moon, and the generals behind him were like clouds, waving flags.

Yelu Hongji felt that he had to give Li Kui a chance, and said in a deep voice: "Spread my message, go to the front of the battle to recruit Li Kui, and I will allow him to be the king of the Southern Courtyard." ”

Yelu Chen's slave was not far away, and when he heard that his emperor valued Li Kui so much, he felt very uncomfortable.

In particular, he, the king of the Southern Courtyard, has only been in office for a few months, and he is about to be wiped out, so he can't unload the mill and kill the donkey so quickly, right?

In the emperor's royal forest, a young general led the order.

Riding alone, he urged his horse tightly and headed towards the camp of the Song army.

Li Kui felt that Yelu Hongji was a little superior, he came from afar, and he was going to go to war before he rested, he felt that he had to give the other party a little color to see, otherwise he would be sorry for Yelu Hongji's expectations of him.

"Li Kui, the commander of the Song army, listen! Spread the dictation of the Great Liao Emperor: "

"I am the Emperor of the Great Liao, Yelu Hongji, the conquest of the world has not been defeated, and now I cherish Ercai, I promise you the lord of the king of the Southern Courtyard, as long as you lead the Song army to surrender to my Great Liao, glory and wealth are at your fingertips." The person who came was the envoy in front of the two armies, that is, the person who spread the message, and there was a high probability that there would be no danger. Unless you meet the most insidious guy, or an undying enemy.

Of course, he passed on the dictation of the emperor of Liao, and the same as reading the holy decree, the tone was naturally based on Yelu Hongji's tone.

Li Kui rolled his eyes, pondering Yelu Hongji's fart, and in a blink of an eye, he blurted out: "Wait, I'll ponder." ”

"Dashuai!"

Cao Fang and the others were in a hurry, if Li Kui surrendered to Liao, no one in the Great Song Dynasty could fight Li Kui's ability to lead troops. Coupled with Li Kui's research on new weapons, it led to the Great Song Dynasty embarking on a new world of research and development of muskets and artillery.

This is not an exaggeration, and there is a high probability that it will be.

Li Kui doesn't care about these guys who don't have the eyesight to see, his wife and children are still in Kaifeng Mansion, even if he wants to surrender to Liao, he has to bring people in, right?

Besides, although the king of the Southern Courtyard has a high status.

But if he commanded the Song army and captured the sixteen states of Yanyun, he would be able to become king in the Great Song Dynasty, and would he be able to go to the Liao Kingdom?

I saw Li Kui scolding in a low voice: "Get out of the way, the guy who doesn't have the eyesight to see." Hua Rong, come here! ”

Hua Rong hurriedly came, but Li Kui grabbed his arm with one hand, approached and asked, "Are you sure you will kill this product?" ”

Hua Rong's brain couldn't react a little, and after a long time, he teased: "Big brother, the two armies will not fight each other, and the sudden use of cold arrows will make the heroes of the world despised——"

"Elm head, this is the enemy, the mortal enemy! Think about how many people of the Great Song Dynasty were captured by the Liao State at the beginning, how many wives were separated, and families were ruined? Don't talk about the far, let's just talk about the near, how many people in Zhending Mansion died this year because of the invasion of Liao? Morality is said with like-minded people, not for beasts, Hua Rong, you got the wrong object. ”

Under Li Kui's awakening, Hua Rong finally made up his mind; "Big brother, I listen to you."

"But—"

"Come on, the opportunity has slipped away, and you can only stare dryly."

"It's too far, it's closer."

Li Kui climbed up to the lookout post by the gate like an ape, and shouted in his loud voice: "How can I believe you if my words are unfounded...... cough cough cough ...... You come closer, stand so far away, this handsome man has a hard time talking. ”

The other party didn't care, and felt that Li Kui was really tempted.

After all, the king of the Southern Courtyard is under one person and above ten thousand people in the Liao Kingdom. Or a prince.

If such a Houlu can't say that Li Kui can't be moved, he can only die.

Seeing that the Liao people came to make the stupid and full of urging the war horses, they came to the front of the Song army.

Cao Fang and the others standing under the lookout post mourned in silence for this unlucky bastard, and they all heard Li Kui's instructions to Hua Rong just now. Secretly said: "The Liao envoy is too naïve, can you believe Li Kui's words?" ”

"Li Kui, the ...... of the Great Liao Emperor"

As soon as he spoke, he suddenly felt a chill in his back, and he heard a sound of breaking wind, and by the time he was alert, he couldn't escape. An arrow hit the neck and fell from his horse to the ground.

Li Kui, who was in the Song army's military array, hurriedly ordered: "Drag the dead man back, cut off the head hanging pole, and be angry with this emperor of the Liao Kingdom." ”

Needless to say, seeing the envoy being killed, the head was hung up and humiliated. Yelu Hongji almost fell off the cart in anger, Li Kui has no credit!

The two armies fought without slashing, but Li Kui actually carried out a sneak attack.

Yelu Hongji pulled out his golden waist knife, pointed in the direction of the Song army, and roared angrily: "I want him to die, kill all the Song army, and never die!" ”

"Never die!"

"The Tielin Army listens to the order, and the whole army will raid with fish scales!"

Everyone shouted wildly, the king humiliated the ministers to death, not only the courtiers of the Great Song Dynasty would have such an attitude. The courtiers of the Liao State will also have it.

It's just that they don't have many opportunities to perform.

Yelu Chen Jianu sighed, he had advised Yelu Hongji to be cautious in his treatment of the Song army.

Because this army is so weird, not to mention the tactics, it is a powerful attack power, so he can't start. But now, Emperor Yelu Hongji is angry, don't look at him as the king of the Southern Courtyard, but in Yelu Hongji's mind, this king of the Southern Courtyard should be jerked off. Didn't you see that Yelu Hongji recruited Li Kui's title before, and he was the king of the Southern Courtyard?

In Yelu Chen's heart, he pondered that it would be better for the emperor to suffer a loss.

Otherwise, it seems that these courtiers are too incompetent, and only if everyone is unlucky together, can they huddle together to keep warm, right?

"Tielin Army, array!"

"The left army of the leather room army is in formation!"

The cavalry formation of 1,000 people and 1,000 people was stacked like waves, and when it was time to charge, the army formation would hit the Song army's line one wave after another.

This is the specialty of the Leather Room Army and the Tielin Army.

This time, it was the 3,000 Tielin Army that was placed before the first attack.

The Tielin Army was also the trump card army of the Liao State. The status of the Iron Harrier in the Liao State is comparable to that of the Western Xia. They are all heavy cavalry, tight and heavy armor, and the crazy ability to break the formation after the charge, so that this army has always been the elite of the Great Liao Emperor. The number of troops is less than that of the leather room army, which has 100,000 horses, and with the national strength of the Liao State, it can only maintain about 10,000.

However, because the impact of the Tielin Army was a one-shot deal, the war horses could not move and wear heavy armor knights and vests, and it was difficult to maintain a long-distance attack. Changing horses is too slow, and it can only be a win-lose tactic.

In fact, the Liao army fought, and this army did not appear on the battlefield very much. But once you appear on the battlefield, you are invincible!

And now, in the face of Li Kui's army of firearms, this army of the Great Liao Emperor at the bottom of the box has finally been sent to the battlefield.

Iron helmets, iron armor, and tightly wrapped Tielin Army had the most powerful defense of the Liao army, so as to resist the powerful attack of the Song army. This is Yelu Hongji's first dish for Li Kui-

Thundered

The three thousand iron forest army are like knights from hell, and the cold iron armor exudes a ghostly aura in the obscure winter sun.

The Song army had already been prepared, and one artillery piece after another was pushed to the predetermined position.

Abandon the gun array, because in the face of the Tielin Army, the rejection of horses and the gun array, which are very useful against the light cavalry, are of little effect, and only large carts can be used.

The defensive front, which was five or six miles long, was getting closer and closer in the face of the Tielin Army that was charging like rolling thunder.

Three hundred zhang.

Two hundred and fifty zhang.

Artillery commander Ling Zhen looked up at the order flag on the platform, and a red order flag slowly fell.

Ling Zhen immediately straightened his chest, took a deep breath, and shouted: "Open the cannon—"
